Working principle for AC car compressor

In a closed AC system, the cooling of freon in the evaporator occurs due to a sharp change in pressure: liquid freon under high pressure passes through a narrow opening, atomizing and instantly cooling.

The task of the compressor is to pump refrigerant (freon) from the low-pressure circuit (from the condenser radiator) to the high-pressure circuit (to the evaporator radiator) with its simultaneous compression, which means an increase in temperature. In the condenser, the freon is cooled and turns into a liquid state, after which it enters the condenser again.

The AC compressor is sometimes referred to as the "heart" of the system, so its smooth operation is so important for the normal operation of the air conditioner. At the same time, the compressor is also heavily loaded.

When an automotive air conditioning compressor is damaged, it can manifest in various signs and symptoms. Here are some common indications of compressor damage:

1. Lack of cooling: One of the primary signs of a faulty compressor is a decrease in the cooling capacity of the air conditioning system. The air blown into the cabin may not be as cold as it used to be. This can be attributed to a lack of compression and reduced refrigerant circulation.

2. Loud noises: A damaged compressor may produce unusual and loud noises during operation. These noises can include grinding, squealing, or rattling sounds. Such sounds indicate internal mechanical issues or loose components within the compressor.

3. Leaking refrigerant: If you notice refrigerant leaking from the compressor or any other component of the AC system, it can indicate compressor damage. Leaks are often caused by worn-out seals or cracks in the compressor housing, resulting in a loss of refrigerant.

4. Excessive vibration: A damaged compressor may cause abnormal vibrations in the vehicle. These vibrations can be felt through the steering wheel, dashboard, or entire cabin. Excessive vibration can indicate internal damage or misalignment of compressor components.

5. AC system failure: In severe cases, a damaged compressor can lead to a complete failure of the air conditioning system. The compressor may seize, preventing any refrigerant circulation and resulting in no cooling at all.

If any of these signs are observed, it is advisable to have the compressor inspected and repaired by a certified technician. Prompt attention to compressor damage can prevent further damage to the AC system and ensure optimal cooling performance in the vehicle
